If we are able to disintegrate the 'self' bit by bit,
shall we know the value of self...
All but in absolute silence,
we see the transitory nature of life...
What we have shaped up as 'physical manifestation' is the body...disintegration of which would drop it down to its subatomic level, a state where we do not exist on a level perceptible by touch; the bodily form gets fragmented into bits and enters into oblivion.
Subatomic particles are measures of energy. Thoughts and feelings are waves of same energy. So, whether we exist as a body or not, we are basically measures of energy that vibrate at different frequencies.
Thoughts and feelings always 'happen' according to our own choice...which gets manifested in the physical world as forms that are tangible...through innumerable 'waves of possibilities'. Therefore everything can be manifested as per our wish trough power of creativity.
That is the power human beings hold...n that is the freedom of being human. All that we must understand is - the kind of thoughts and feelings we project comes back to us as reflections in a mirror.
The questions which arise now are,
- What do we actually want?
- When we ask for what we desire or wish, do we understand what else might come along with it?
- Are we ready for all of it, as a whole package?
For eg: if we wish to achieve fame in a certain profession, are we ready to face certain contrasts that would appear in our life to help us reach those goals? These contrasts however appear to add any kind of value required to succeed in achieving what we want to, which may not be currently available in us. They may also appear to be really harsh in more than one way. But we must be aware we are not frowning at them whatsoever. So we see that it is all a matter of mental attitude.
Similarly, in the hall of material possessions - wealth, name, fame, class, beauty, etc - if we understand what the entire package may demand from us or have the faintest idea of what price we would require to pay - the entire situation works reasonably well for us.
Thus we see that a little awareness works everywhere. If we delve deeper, we may be able to decide better, if our wishes still remain the same or we are better off without them. Of course the choice is our own as well as responsibility of consequences.
Every action has its result...
Every input has an output...
These are natural phenomena and we must 'be able' to be ready for them. That is the responsibility we choose to hold for all that we have consciously invited into our domain of existence.
'Nothing ever comes into our life without our permission, intention and invitation'
So, we now know that harmony or disharmony in our life is our own creation. And it is extremely important for us to 'be aware' of what vibrations - thoughts and feelings - we create in our mind and transmit them to our surrounding. They will all be reflected as 'having' in our life.
Every moment of awareness is an invaluable opportunity to create joy and happiness for our self in the 'NOW'.
Naturally when we become aware, silence absorbs us;
Or, in silence we observe more and more of the 'self' - how, what, when, where, why - we are being, feeling, doing or having, the way we are/do.
Thus, 'self-consciousness' is nothing ecstatic; it is a simple yet an enormous dimension of infinite possibilities...depending on how we allow it to absorb us or how we soak it in.
In the moment of self consciousness we tend to live 'as life flows' - we start living the moment of pain or joy with equal involvement - but never dragging it too long or too far; experiencing every bit of our magnificent existence, learning and evolving as 'New in the Now' like every breath of fresh air...
'Our being and doing gets reflected in our having'
